Prime Factorization of 506

What is the Prime Factorization of 506?

Answer: Prime Factors of 506: 2, 11, 23

Explanation of number 506 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 506 it is expressing 506 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 506.

Since number 506 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 506, we have to iteratively divide 506 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 506:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 506 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

506 ÷ 2 = 253

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

253 ÷ 11 = 23

23 ÷ 23 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 506. It is: 2, 11, 23
